Exactly, when your chips are enough to win a prize or enter a bubble, sometimes it's good to show that we're only playing it safe, so at the time of betting you'll know as much that you have a good hand, as well as that whoever pays does it, and you can take advantage of this to bluff or bet to win the jackpot.Showing the cards can be used as a strategy to make the table think that it is playing safely, for example, it shows a 72off from the small blind, A5s of MP2 or k9s of Hijack, it shows the table that you are a player who only opens cards in position and that does not open two cards, or, if you have a lot of chips, you can match a bet with any two cards and show it in the showdown so that the table thinks that you are playing without commitment.
By showing your cards you are passing your information on to your opponents.
I have shown my cards several times, I go here once.
I placed a bet twice the big blind with JJ from the UTG+1 position
MP2 - call
CO - call
BB - call
Open AKQ open on the flop
three cards above my JJ pair.
Logically I checked
MP2 - check
CO - check
BB - half pot bet
I gave up my hand and doubled.
they all gave up and withdrew in the end. I showed my pair of JJ cards.
